I have seen the smiles and joy it brings to their faces to receive these toys and it is the most rewarding thing imaginable. Every child deserves to be happy on Christmas day.”
The 13-year-old’s challenges have included jumping a gap on his BMX, back-flipping a spine ramp on his BMX and cycling 50 miles in just over five hours (Brighton to Hayling Island).
He has also done the fastest, longest, highest zip wire in Europe blindfolded and abseiled 100ft off a bridge 12 times to make the height of the Empire State building.
